I was eating through both chemo and radiation. I had small bites to eat throughout the day. Funny I
don't get hunger pangs anymore. Interesting. My entire esophagus was removed and the stomach it attached to where it was. The only thing that really annoys me is the food gets 'stuck'. So I have learned to chew the food really well and swallow small portions. The surgeon explained that it's like having a funnel with a small opening at the top. Gravity EVENTUALLY moves the food through so I wait, and wait. Every day, 7 days a week. One day I will get used to it. I figure it's better than the alternative.

Yes that would be very frustrating. We are just hoping to drink and swallow at this point. Still waiting.
